<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since introducing the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has continued to refine the foldable experience through eight generations of innovation, shaped by how people use their devices every day. This continued evolution has resonated with consumers worldwide, including those across Southeast Asia and Oceania, where sales of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra have grown 40% compared to the Galaxy Z Fold7<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond advances in design and durability, the latest Galaxy Z Series has expanded the possibilities of the foldable form factor – enabling users to multitask, create and edit content, and capture and enjoy their favourite moments, with each foldable designed around different needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a closer look at what sets the Galaxy Z Series apart:</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Engineered With Excellence</strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9578" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-1.png" alt="" width="2000" height="1328" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-1.png 2000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-1-848x563.png 848w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-1-768x510.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-1-1024x680.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Making a foldable thinner and lighter requires redesigning how its interconnected components work together – from the display and hinge to the battery, thermal system and internal architecture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through advances in materials and structural engineering, the latest Galaxy Z Series achieves a thinner, lighter design while maintaining durability and key performance features, including battery life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>At <strong>201g</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a><strong>,</strong> Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Fold yet<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</li>
<li>New <strong>Flex Titanium</strong> technology combines a titanium-alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate to enable a slimmer display structure, while maintaining the strength and flexibility needed for repeated folding. It also helps absorb pressure and impact while minimising crease visibility.</li>
<li>The Galaxy Z Series underwent <strong>more than 100 reliability validation tests</strong> covering real-world conditions, including drops, repeated folding, pressure, moisture and debris, helping identify potential issues before the product reaches consumers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Large Screens for Every Lifestyle</strong></h2>
<p>A larger screen creates more possibilities when it adapts naturally to how people use their phones – from everyday browsing and immersive viewing to multitasking and content creation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_KV.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="810" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_KV.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_KV-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_KV-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_KV-768x432.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_KV-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Many people in Singapore have lived under grey skies for several weeks as the region tries to catch its breath amidst the hazy conditions. As households pay closer attention to the fluctuations in air quality, some might be wondering just what they can do to breathe a little easier indoors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s why some are turning to air purifiers to help reduce dust particles for better air quality. While this home appliance might currently be the region’s most welcomed addition this season, it’s worth noting that its usefulness extends beyond the haze. Regardless of what the sky looks like outside, the right air purifier can make the indoor environment more comfortable for your household. If you’re trying to pick one for your home, here are some things to keep in mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>1. Advanced Purification System </strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9564" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main01.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="810" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main01.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main01-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main01-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main01-768x432.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main01-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>Filtration is a key function of air purifiers and with different sizes and types of particles present in the air, a multi-layered system is crucial to effectively capture and remove dust. The <a href="https://www.samsung.com/sg/air-care/air-purifier/ax3100-ax32bg3100gbme/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung Smart Air Purifier SmartThings</a> for instance, comes equipped with a multi-layered high efficiency purification system. Larger dust particles are first trapped by a washable pre filter, while harmful gases<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> are removed by an Activated Carbon Deodorisation Filter. Finally, with an electret dust-collecting filter, it captures up to 99.97%<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> of ultrafine dust.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>2. Anti-bacterial capabilities</strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9565" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main02.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="810" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main02.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main02-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main02-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main02-768x432.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_PC_Main02-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond capturing foreign particles in the air, filters that have anti-bacterial properties can also offer additional protection from certain types of bacteria and virus. The dust-collecting filter on Samsung’s air purifiers contain zinc oxide, which can reduce bacteria on the filter by up to 99.9%<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>, and inactivate up to 96.3%<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> of the H1N1 virus – which can cause respiratory illness – on its surface. This added capability can provide your household with more peace of mind as you enjoy cleaner air together at home.</p>

<h2><strong>3. Stay informed on the room’s air quality </strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-9570 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/purifier.png" alt="" width="866" height="473" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/purifier.png 866w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/purifier-768x419.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the presence of an air purifier can provide some reassurance that your household is getting clean air, it always helps to stay informed. Equipped with a 4-Color Indicator, the Samsung Smart Air Purifier SmartThings allows users to intuitively check and monitor air quality in real time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>4. Convenience and connectivity </strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9562" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/AX3100_Mobile_Main03.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="406" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As with other home appliances, ease of use and convenience can play a big part in the overall experience of owning an air purifier, while power consumption is another common concern. With SmartThings connectivity, Samsung air purifiers can be remotely controlled through the SmartThings App<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a>. Users can easily check room pollution levels, as well as turn the device on and off through their mobile device. To save energy use, you can turn the air purifier off when the house is empty, and switch it on when you’re on the way back, ensuring that you return to a home filled with clean air.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other features like Auto Mode can also help to reduce manual effort needed and energy consumption. By sensing the room’s air pollution levels, it enables the air purifier to automatically adjust power and fan speeds accordingly to deliver and maintain optimal air quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>5. Easy maintenance </strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-9568 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/purifier-2.png" alt="" width="993" height="543" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/purifier-2.png 993w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/purifier-2-768x420.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Maintenance of household appliances is a dreaded chore for many but keeping your air purifier clean and well-maintained is critical to keep it working at its best. If you don’t want to add yet another burdensome task to your household to-do list, pick an air purifier with simple maintenance needs – look out for filters that only require periodic cleaning, are easy to replace, and purifiers that trigger alerts for when it’s time for a clean or change.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Home Care – which is part of the SmartThings app – helps users monitor filter usage and receive guidance on when to change, replace, or clean your appliance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>During this hazy season, air purifiers can provide valuable respite. But it’s important to remember that while the smoke might soon give way to clear skies, the need for clean air doesn’t end. Activities in everyday life, like cooking or cleaning, can also affect air quality in your home. By picking the right air purifier, your household can look forward to enjoying clean and fresh air all year round.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced the launch of Samsung SmartPlan<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup><span>[1]</span></sup></a><strong>, </strong>a new offering that combines monthly payments for eligible Samsung products with access to extended coverage and care services.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Singapore is the first market in Southeast Asia and Oceania to introduce Samsung SmartPlan, with the service set to roll out across the rest of the region progressively.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The offering brings together multiple key benefits in a single package: a flexible payment arrangement for eligible Mobile Devices, Visual Display products and Home Appliances, and care services that extend beyond the standard product warranty.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Purchasing a home appliance or device can be a significant decision for customers, and many often have several considerations in mind as they make their choice. From financing the purchase, to ensuring that their products remain operational in the long-term, customers want flexible options and peace of mind,” said Jeffrey Hahn, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore. “Samsung SmartPlan brings these considerations together from the point of purchase, with affordable monthly payments and comprehensive product coverage for eligible repairs and maintenance services.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung SmartPlan currently covers three categories of products:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mobile Devices </strong>including phones and tablets</li>
<li><strong>Visual Display Devices</strong> including televisions</li>
<li><strong>Home Appliances</strong> including refrigerators and laundry</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Flexible Payment Plan that comes with Product Care Options</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung SmartPlan combines the cost of an eligible product and its selected care package into fixed monthly payments. This covers the product cost, delivery, professional installation, along with additional benefits like cleaning and maintenance, product health checks, remote technical support and more. Unlike a rental arrangement, this service is designed as an affordable path to ownership where customers retain the appliance or device upon completion of the plan. The monthly amount payable varies according to product and the chosen plan duration – which ranges from one to five years<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup><span>[2]</span></sup></a>, giving customers the flexibility to pick an option that best fits their financing and coverage needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Care and Maintenance Options Tailored to Different Products</strong></h2>
<p>SmartPlan is designed to support customers beyond the initial purchase by extending product care beyond the standard warranty. Across SmartPlan coverage for mobile devices, televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines, genuine replacement parts from Samsung are included, along with labour and transport costs when repairs are needed. Repair services are delivered on-site at customer homes by Samsung-trained technicians. In addition, SmartPlan customers can also access Samsung Remote Service as often as required for all eligible products, enjoying convenient support and troubleshooting from home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the recognition that different product categories have varied support needs over their lifespan, SmartPlan includes tailored care services that can help customers maintain their purchases and enjoy greater peace of mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For instance, SmartPlan benefits for mobile devices include unlimited screen repairs at fixed fees, free replacement of screen protector films<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup><span>[3]</span></sup></a>, access to global repair services<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup><span>[4]</span></sup></a>, as well as diagnostic checks. Meanwhile, benefits for televisions include subsidised rates for panel repairs<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup><span>[5]</span></sup></a>, relocation installation<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup><span>[6]</span></sup></a>, free remote-control replacements, as well as discounts on new sound devices. For selected models like The Frame Pro, customers can also enjoy bezel replacements and access to the Samsung Art Store. SmartPlan options for home appliances like refrigerators and washing machines provide benefits including cleaning and maintenance<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup><span>[7]</span></sup></a>, re-installation checks<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup><span>[8]</span></sup></a>, as well as a monthly home care report.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The </strong><a href="https://time.com/collection/best-inventions/2026/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra/?filters=Consumer+Electronics" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Galaxy S26 Ultra</strong></a><strong> has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions 2026</strong>, marking the fourth time Samsung Galaxy devices have been recognised on the annual list.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Selected by TIME’s global network of expert contributors and editors, <a href="https://bestinventions.time.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Best Inventions</a> recognises the year’s most significant new products and ideas, evaluated on factors including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s <a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/share-on-your-terms-with-galaxy-s26-ultra"><strong>Privacy Display</strong></a> is a breakthrough in display technology that fundamentally changes how privacy can be protected on a phone. It allows users to adjust the visibility of content on your screen, and is highly customisable. You can decide when it turns on – whether full screen, or only when specific types of pop-up notifications appear onscreen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Privacy Safeguards to Protect Users</strong></h2>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Ultra also offers smarter software safeguards that work quietly in the background to better protect users against possible digital threats. For example, <strong>Privacy Alerts</strong> use machine learning to notify users in real time when apps with device admin privileges unnecessarily seek sensitive data, such as precise location, call logs or contacts—helping users manage permissions with greater clarity and control.  <strong>Private Album</strong>, which is built directly into Gallery, lets users easily hide selected photos and videos without creating a separate folder or signing into a Samsung Account.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To stay ahead of emerging threats, Galaxy S26 Ultra also extends Samsung’s innovation in <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>post-quantum cryptography</strong></a><strong> (PQC)</strong> to critical system processes, including software verification and firmware protection, strengthening device integrity for the future. Updates to <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Knox Matrix</strong></a> further strengthen protection across connected Galaxy devices, adding PQC-enabled end-to-end encryption for direct transfers like eSIM migrations and clearer visibility into firmware update status across the ecosystem through Security Status of Your Devices.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, thousands of office towers, hotels, malls and mixed-use developments were constructed before sustainability was ever a priority. With fluctuating climates across the region, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is the <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-cooling-in-southeast-asia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fastest-growing use of energy in buildings</a> — and as electricity prices climb, these ageing properties grow more expensive to run every year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That makes HVAC systems the first place a retrofit should address. It is also the system most feasible for upgrading without structural work, so the return on investment materialises fast. Tearing a building down to start over, by contrast, is costly, carbon-intensive and slow. As such, a growing number of owners are now asking a different question: what if the smarter move is to upgrade what is already standing?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are hardware and management tools that can address this growing need. For instance, integrating Samsung’s AI-powered energy management solutions with its intelligent HVAC and connected building technology can help sharpen efficiency and extend a building’s life at once.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s <strong>DVM S2, Samsung’s Variable Refrigerant Flow system </strong>connects a single outdoor unit to as many as 64 indoor units, reducing the new piping and structural work a retrofit demands, while <strong>SmartThings Pro’s</strong> AI Energy Mode can automatically adjust each connected device against real-time conditions, electricity rates and comfort levels. Together they turn an older property into a responsive, efficient asset — without major structural renovation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>AI-enabled HVAC management: the fastest route to energy savings</strong></h2>
<p>Because cooling often carries the heaviest energy load in commercial buildings, it is where a retrofit pays back fastest.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xuedZtYaU2E?si" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></div>
<p><em>Preserving heritage, upgrading comfort: how the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur retrofitted Samsung’s DVM solution across lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keen to balance historical preservation with guest comfort, the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur turned to Samsung’s DVM solution for space-tailored cooling — where temperatures are tuned to different environments like lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centres — paired with energy-saving technology and integrated B2B controls. With customisable systems and end-to-end support from consultation through to maintenance, the hotel was modernised without the upheaval a full mechanical overhaul would have forced on a heritage structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Where the DVM S2 goes further is efficiency. Rather than running at full capacity by default, the system learns a building’s cooling patterns to intelligently maintain the precise pressures and temperatures each space requires, effectively reducing compressor energy usage by up to 15%<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>. Beyond hotels, a Bangkok office tower or a Sydney shopping centre can also enjoy efficiency gains from the moment the system is calibrated to how the building operates.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The rise of buildings that learn to optimise themselves</strong></h2>
<p>Historically, a retrofit was a single intervention whose performance declined gradually as conditions changed. Intelligent systems overturn that premise: the building continues to learn long after installation is complete. The DVM S2 continuously detects indoor conditions and responds in real time, while SmartThings Pro’s AI Energy Mode weighs live occupancy, weather and electricity tariffs to determine how hard each unit should work at any given moment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The outcome is a building that adapts to how it is actually used — easing demand on unoccupied floors, and shifting load away from peak-tariff periods. These features ensure efficiency is maintained over time, so a building that once needed periodic recommissioning can keep tuning its own performance, season after season.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>How connected ecosystems reduce operating and maintenance costs</strong></h2>
<p>The most significant long-term savings are often found not in kilowatt-hours, but in the service calls that never become necessary.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since the DVM S2 and SmartThings Pro operate on a single connected platform, a facilities team can oversee an entire estate from one dashboard: viewing real-time energy analytics, performance trends and early warnings that surface before a fault escalates into a failure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics can identify a struggling compressor or a refrigerant leak, allowing many issues to be resolved before an engineer is dispatched.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For owners running portfolios spread across cities, multi-site monitoring consolidates a dispersed estate into a single coherent view — this means fewer emergency repairs, reduced downtime and a maintenance program guided by real-time condition data rather than fixed intervals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This connected ecosystem approach is being incorporated into new developments like Grantz Forest Park, a mixed-use project led by Samsung&#8217;s B2B Integrated Offering Center. The development is planned for Cebu, the Philippines, where residential facility managers will be able to remotely check in on the status of facilities through SmartThings Pro, while the Samsung Building Integrated Solution &#8216;b.IoT&#8217; will enable control and management of HVAC, lighting, and power facilities to enhance building energy efficiency.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The path forward runs through buildings we already have</strong></h2>
<p>It’s tempting to treat new construction as the only real form of progress. But in Southeast Asia and Oceania, where HVAC systems consume significant volumes of energy and thousands of buildings already stand, the bigger opportunity isn’t in what gets built next — it’s in upgrading what’s already there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For building owners across Southeast Asia and Oceania, the question shifts from whether to modernise, to how they can retrofit existing structures. With AI-powered HVAC solutions from Samsung, the region’s offices, hotel buildings, mixed-used developments and more, can look forward to the benefits offered by efficient and intelligent HVAC systems.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In regions like Southeast Asia which has a growing industrial sector that increasingly requires B2B laundry solutions, washing and drying machines that can handle large volumes quickly and reliably, while efficiently using every square meter of floor space matter the most. Business owners are on the lookout for efficient appliances and systems to manage operations, and seek solutions with capabilities that can deliver the reliability and performance they expect.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Optimising resource use and providing seamless and convenient maintenance support, Samsung’s new 30-inch washer and dryer are designed to meet diverse requirements across a range of business environments, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Laundromats and self-service operators:</strong> Rising incomes, urbanisation and more one-person and two-income households are driving demand for time-saving laundry services like laundromats.</li>
<li><strong>Hospitality and Medical Institutions: </strong>Large capacity machines can support hotels, resorts, hospitals and their laundry partners to process large volumes of sheets, towels and linens quickly, handling heavy daily demand in fewer cycles.</li>
<li><strong>Other businesses with laundry requirements:</strong> Other operators such as beauty salons and spas benefit too, enjoying fast, reliable turnaround on linens and towels throughout the day without the need to engage outsource laundry services.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s B2B Laundry solutions will be available across Southeast Asia and Oceania, starting in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, bringing Samsung’s expertise to laundry operators and other businesses in the region looking to upgrade their equipment and improve revenue models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Powerful and fast performance </strong></h2>
<p>Built for businesses that handle large volumes of laundry every day, Samsung’s washer and dryer combine big capacity with shorter cycle times, so more laundry can be processed in fewer loads.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Launder Larger Loads: </strong>The Samsung B2B Washer has a spacious drum with a large 18kg capacity, so a huge amount of laundry – even heavy items like blankets, curtains, and comforters – can fit into a single load. When using a Normal cycle, a load can be completed in just 36 minutes<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> while there are six cycles in total to pick from: Normal, Heavy Duty, Synthetics, Delicates, Clean Wash and Rinse+Spin.</li>
<li><strong>Clean Thoroughly with Bubble Wash: </strong>Bubble Wash dissolves and activates detergent to create rich bubbles that are rapidly absorbed deep into fabric, enabling powerful washing. A super-strong water shot then thoroughly rinses away stubborn stains and detergent residue.</li>
<li><strong>Faster Drying for more Time Savings: </strong>The Samsung B2B Dryer has a large 14kg capacity, and with a vent system, blankets, king-sized comforters and delicate fabrics can be quickly dried. It offers Normal, Heavy Duty, Synthetics and Delicates cycles, as well as 10- and 20-minute drying options.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Robust Design for Long-term Durability </strong></h2>
<p>The washer and dryer are engineered for stable performance and long-term use even when processing heavy loads.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reliable Performance with Beltless Design: </strong>The Washer’s <strong>Direct Drive motor with Inverter technology </strong>is attached directly to the drum, making it efficient and stable. The beltless design helps enhance long-term durability and reliability.</li>
<li><strong>VRT+<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Reduces Vibration: </strong>VRT+<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> (Vibration Reduction Technology Plus) in the B2B Washer detects vibration using a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor and reduces it with a ball balance system during washes<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>, even at high spin speeds.</li>
<li><strong>Designed to Last: </strong>The Dryer’s drum is made of durable, heat-resistant stainless steel. Unlike coated and plastic drums, it won’t get chipped or scratched, for example by metal zippers, so the surface stays smooth and gentle on clothes. It also won’t rust or discolour over time.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Space-saving and Secure Stackable Design </strong></h2>
<p>The washer and dryer are designed to fit a wide range of spaces, from narrow shops to full-scale laundromats, giving businesses the flexibility in how they lay out their laundry area.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stackable Design for Space Efficiency: </strong>Maximise floor space with a stackable washer and dryer configuration. The dryer features a lower-mounted display kit for easy access and operation when stacked above the washer, while the stacking kit ensures a secure and stable installation.</li>
<li><strong>Reversible Door for Flexible Layouts: </strong>The B2B Dryer’s Reversible Door can open from the left or right, allowing businesses to work around walls, doors and other fixture restrictions. When the washer and dryer are installed side by side, the doors can be installed to open in opposite directions for easy loading and unloading.</li>
<li><strong>Different Power Options for Varied Operational Needs: </strong>The Dryer is available in both gas and electric models<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>, providing enterprises with the option to pick a machine that best meets their requirements. <strong> </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Convenient Management that Boost Revenue and Keeps Machine Clean </strong></h2>
<p>Built-in management features help business owners control earnings and keep machines in good condition with minimal effort.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Convenient Operations for Business Owners: </strong>The <strong>Manager Mode </strong>enables easy customisation of laundry settings like adjusting washing duration, water levels, and spinning time.</li>
<li><strong>Easy Maintenance of Washer and Dryer: </strong>
<ul>
<li>The<strong> Drum Clean</strong> cycle keeps the inside of the B2B Washer clean without detergent. It combines soaking, pulsating and high-speed spinning to eliminate up to 99.9% of certain bacteria<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> from the drum, while an ultra-powerful water jet reduces grime around the door.</li>
<li>The B2B Dryer’s Lint Filter Alert reminds to clear blockages. While the Vent Sensor monitors the air duct and notifies users when it needs cleaning, helping maintain consistent drying performance.</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Healthy living is often associated with choices about what we eat and how we exercise. However, wellbeing can also be shaped by the environments and routines we return to every day. Besides our diet and fitness, our health can be affected by our quality of sleep and how much effort – both mental and physical – is spent on everyday household chores.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That makes the home an important part of the wider wellness picture. AI-powered solutions can change how we manage daily tasks – from refrigerators that suggest healthy recipes, to automated laundry cycles that can help reduce both mental and physical effort. With intelligent innovations that can seamlessly support everyday routines around rest, eating, and household care, our everyday lives can be made easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Creating a More Comfortable Environment For Rest Through Intelligent Cooling</strong></h2>
<p>A good night’s sleep hinges on comfort to help us fall asleep and more importantly, stay asleep. Samsung’s <a href="https://www.samsung.com/sg/system-air-conditioners/free-joint-multi/windfree-single-split-system-1-air-conditioner-f-ar70f24d1jw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bespoke AI WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner</a> is designed to make cooling feel gentler. With WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cooling, air is dispersed through 23,000 micro air holes<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment without unpleasant cold drafts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Getting quality rest is an important priority in the region, with 66% of respondents in a Samsung Health App survey<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> indicating that they are actively working on improving their sleep. During warm and humid nights common in Singapore, the temperature that feels right at bedtime may not remain comfortable for the hours that follow as we go through different stages of the sleep cycle. With the Bespoke AI WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner, the cooling experience can be personalised when the air conditioner is connected to a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring through SmartThings<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When a connected wearable detects that the user has fallen asleep, <a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/2026-windfree-intelligent-cooling">WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wearable Good Sleep mode can automatically activate WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> cooling</a> and adapt to body signals to make temperature adjustments.  This can help to reduce nighttime awakenings, enabling users to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Supporting Healthier Eating Habits Through Smarter Food Management</strong></h2>
<p>Planning healthier meals often starts with knowing what is already in the kitchen, what needs to be used first and what can be easily prepared.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With SmartThings Food, you can easily check a food list<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> to see if you have what you need via the SmartThings app<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> – no more guessing and ending up with items you don’t actually need. And if you’re home and stuck with no ideas for what to cook, the AI Food Manager can make the decision for you, by recommending recipes based on what’s already available in your fridge. This reduces the mental load of meal prep and makes the process more efficient. What’s for Today is a new feature available on select models – depending on the user selection, the function can offer menu recommendations based on either a random suggestion or available refrigerator contents, turning the daily question of what to cook into a more engaging and gamified experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9494" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-9494 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3-e1792558313715.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="564" /><p class="wp-caption-text">SmartThings makes it easier for you to plan your meals, track expiration dates, and discover new recipes based on your dietary preferences and existing ingredients.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, side-by-side refrigerators with the 9-inch Family Hub display can serve as a central control hub for connected Samsung smart appliances, allowing users to control appliances directly from the refrigerator display.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> Supported by Bixby, verbal cues provide an additional hands-free way to interact with the refrigerator while cooking or preparing meals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9495" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-9495 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-4-e1792558327990.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Side-by-side refrigerators with the 9-inch Family Hub display can serve as a central control hub for connected Samsung smart appliances</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The refrigerator’s role is not to decide what a healthy meal should look like for every household. Instead, it makes information readily accessible, enabling you to make easier decisions about what to eat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Simplifying Laundry Routines for Greater Wellbeing</strong></h2>
<p>Living well at home is shaped not only by resting and eating well, but also by how well you can manage daily life. Laundry can involve a long chain of small tasks – from choosing settings and measuring detergent amounts, to keeping track of when the cycle ends and moving wet clothes for drying. Minimising steps in this tiresome routine can help lighten the mental load of everyday household care, freeing up time for more rest or quality moments with loved ones.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s latest Bespoke AI laundry solutions are designed to make washing more convenient and effortless. AI Wash+ uses multiple sensors to detect load weight and five different fabric types<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>, automatically dispense the right amount of water and detergent, and continuously monitor soil levels during the wash cycle. If needed, it can also adjust detergent use and washing time accordingly to deliver efficient<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><sup>[9]</sup></span></a> and thorough cleaning performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo brings washing and drying into one appliance. Clothes can move from washing to drying without being transferred between separate machines, reducing interruptions and adding yet another task to your day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the 7-inch Smart Screen offers a central view to check on your wash cycle and access controls, while the Bixby voice assistant support conversational voice control.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these features can help reduce the manual steps and lighten the mental load of managing your laundry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9496" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-9496 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-5-e1792558342682.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="489" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo brings washing and drying into one appliance, while AI Wash+ helps optimise care for each supported load with less manual input.</p></div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h2><strong>Bringing Wellness Together Through a Connected Home Ecosystem</strong></h2>
<p>A truly connected home consists of more than just individual appliances. Through SmartThings, Samsung connects its Bespoke AI appliances and compatible devices in an integrated ecosystem, delivering seamless experiences across the home to help you easily live better.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For years, the conversation about smart appliances centred on the home. That intelligence, connectivity and reliability is now expected across the built environment. Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, it&#8217;s moving into residential developments, hotels, offices and retail spaces.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With our broad portfolio of integrated B2B solutions, Samsung is supporting the growth of businesses and building owners in the region by addressing their evolving operational needs across heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), home appliances, as well as smart management technologies. Equipped with a deep understanding of what our enterprise partners need and prioritise, we strive to deliver innovative technologies that can help reduce energy consumption and manage operating costs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The expansion of our enterprise sales for instance, already reflects the trust that we have earned from our customers – B2B sales in the region have increased by more than 20% year-on-year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Why HVAC Has Become a Growth Engine</strong></h2>
<p>Southeast Asia and Oceania’s building and construction sector is growing at a steady pace, whether it is building new smart cities and towns or rejuvenating old ones. Southeast Asia and Australia’s construction industry is forecasted to grow more than 5x faster<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> than the global rate in 2026.What’s particularly exciting is the region’s appetite for what’s next, from high-tech manufacturing plants to AI data centres that will define future economies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every one of them needs cooling that is smarter, more efficient and more reliable than what came before. That’s why HVAC has become a key growth driver of our business &#8211; the B2B segment now makes up more than half of total HVAC sales, with the proportion almost doubling from five years ago &#8211; and we believe it’s only getting started.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-acquires-leading-global-hvac-solutions-provider-flaktgroup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquisition of FläktGroup</a> brings us closer to that future by deepening our expertise in HVAC systems and enabling us to serve the most demanding environments, such as AI data centres where cooling and ventilation are critical to keep crucial systems and operations going.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9475" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9475" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-2-1000x563.png" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-2-1000x563.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-2-728x410.png 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-2-768x432.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-2-1024x576.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung is establishing a new FläktGroup HVAC production line at the Gwangju plant in Korea to support production of advanced cooling solutions for AI data centres</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here in this region, demand is rising across a diverse range of building types. In Vietnam, we’re supplying around 3,000 WindFree air-conditioning units to high-rise apartments as part of CapitaLand’s Sycamore development in Ho Chi Minh City, while more than 3,000 air-conditioning units will be installed in Starlake, a mixed-use complex in Hanoi.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Thailand, we have rolled out HVAC systems across Thaiwatsadu’s retail stores which are also supported by SmartThings Pro to manage energy efficiency and simplify operational management. Additionally, 600 rooms in the 29 buildings of Sheraton Naiharn Hotel &amp; Resort in Phuket will be outfitted with WindFree air-conditioning units. In Sydney, Australia, our cooling systems have been incorporated in residential projects such as Arncliffe Central and AURA by Aqualand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether it’s a beach resort, or a cutting-edge data centre, our comprehensive portfolio means that there are always suitable cooling solutions for diverse needs.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Extending the Opportunity Beyond Cooling</strong></h2>
<p>HVAC is not the only category that businesses are paying attention to. Urbanisation, changing lifestyles and growing demand for convenience are also driving adoption of suitable laundry solutions in B2B business sectors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on decades of expertise in consumer appliances, we have expanded our laundry lineup for broader capacity choices to meet various B2B needs in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, with plans to bring our B2B laundry solutions to more markets in Southeast Asia and Oceania by the end of 2026.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/vn/samsung-dong-hanh-cung-doi-tac-phat-trien-mo-hinh-cua-hang-giat-say-tu-dong-khai-truong-cua-hang-dau-tien-titi-laundry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TiTi Laundry in Ho Chi Minh City</a></span> is one recent example. As one of the first partners that we collaborated with to expand the B2B laundry model in Vietnam, it is open around the clock, with machines that can be monitored and managed remotely. This business model allows connected appliances, such as Samsung’s B2B Laundry solutions, to create new business opportunities for operators, while making everyday life a little easier for the people they serve.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Building Smarter Business Environments </strong></h2>
<p>Together, these developments point to a broader change in how businesses are thinking about their physical spaces. Beyond standalone products, our customers increasingly want connected solutions that simplify management across an entire property, instead of having to look after individual systems.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is taking shape at <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/samsung-electronics-powers-ai-connected-living-in-cebu-through-new-mixed-use-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Granz Forest Park in Cebu, the Philippines</a></span>, where we have partnered with real estate developer, DH Plus, to provide integrated operational solutions that combine AI-powered appliances, SmartThings Pro, and connected technologies within a single ecosystem, spanning residences, hotel and commercial facilities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By offering technological expertise, an extensive suite of AI-powered appliances, and smart management platforms, Samsung is enabling businesses and building owners to construct and maintain spaces that are tailored to what users need, and opens new ways to optimise and expand their operations. Through integrated solutions that empower enterprises to optimise operations, reduce costs, and confidently scale up, we are shaping the future of buildings and properties in Southeast Asia and Oceania, supporting the region’s further growth and development.</p>

<div id="attachment_9469" style="width: 858px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9469" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-848x563.jpg" alt="" width="848" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-848x563.jpg 848w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-1024x680.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung showcases its latest HVAC solutions and technologies designed to support smarter, more efficient and reliable experiences in various environments.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has expanded its HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) portfolio across residential and commercial environments — enabling users to leverage AI-driven features and SmartThings connectivity. With the acquisition of European HVAC specialist FläktGroup – which has over a century of accumulated technological expertise and design capabilities – Samsung is also further expanding into industrial applications like data centres, broadening its line-up of diverse HVAC solutions for more customers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Central to the line-up is WindFree<sup>TM</sup> technology, which has been refined over the past decade and now anchors the latest <strong>Bespoke AI WindFree Pro Air Conditioner<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></strong>. This model features a streamlined form that allows the air conditioner to fit naturally into the surrounding space and comes equipped with AI-powered technologies for personalised comfort. AI Motion Wind adapts airflow based on user preferences and movements while WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wearable Good Sleep can connect to a compatible wearable device<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> and utilise body signals to automatically adjust the cooling performance based on the user’s sleep state.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In addition to its new visual appearance, this model also expands access to AI and smart features such as AI Energy Mode<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Laundry Solutions for Evolving Business Needs</h2>
<div id="attachment_9468" style="width: 847px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9468" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-837x563.jpg" alt="" width="837" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-837x563.jpg 837w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-768x517.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-1024x689.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung’s new laundry solutions are designed to support specific B2B needs with large capacities, durability and flexible installation.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Samsung expands its presence in B2B business, the company broadens its product portfolio to meet diverse B2B needs, including laundry solutions, built for best-in-class performance, reliability and ease of operations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 18kg washer offers powerful and fast performance even for large loads and items such as king-sized bedding. Washing cycles are efficient, with a normal cycle taking 36 minutes to complete<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>, while Bubble Wash technology ensures effective removal of stains or detergent on clothes. Meanwhile, equipped with a vent system, the 14kg dryer supports speed drying – with heavy duty loads being completed within 45 minutes<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With durability a top priority for laundry equipment, the washer is fitted with Vibration Reduction Technology Plus (VRT+<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />) to reduce vibrations<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> which can accelerate wear and tear of internal parts. Both appliances are also easy to operate and maintain. The Manager Mode on the washer enables convenient adjustment of settings such as rinse and water levels, and with Wi-fi connectivity, operators can also remotely monitor the status and performance of the machine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s approach for the B2B sector is not limited to supporting partners with our expanding product line-ups. As modern building management shifts toward greater efficiency and optimised operations across entire sites — Samsung solutions are designed to work as one. SmartThings Pro, Samsung’s integrated B2B IoT platform, connects HVAC and other devices across residential, retail, hospitality and corporate environments, enabling businesses to manage multiple sites, automate operations and monitor energy use through customised dashboards, and enterprise API integrations.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the seminar, Samsung highlighted its commitment to making home living smarter and more seamless, demonstrating how its AI-powered appliance ecosystem comes together to support consumers by adding convenience to everyday life. Intelligent features in Samsung refrigerators for example, can help users manage their food inventory, offer personalised recommendations, and simplify everyday decision-making with AI-powered experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the recent update, refrigerators like the <strong>Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub</strong> can make planning and preparation of meals much easier. Combining with cloud intelligence, enhanced AI Vision can now recognise more food items than before with greater accuracy<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a>, while the SmartThings Food can recommend recipes based on the ingredients a user currently has. Additionally, the new FoodNote widget introduced this year offers tailored suggestions for a shopping list, by analysing consumption patterns to identify frequently consumed items.</p>
<p><strong><u> </u></strong></p>
<h2>Beyond the Purchase: Appliances That Evolve with Users</h2>
<p>Samsung’s connected home is a unified and personal experience across home appliances and services — one designed to keep improving long after purchase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To ensure users can continue to enjoy enhanced experiences over time, eligible appliances come with up to seven years of software updates<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>. The latest update in September included upgrades to AI Vision and Now Brief for select refrigerator models globally, with the new capabilities showcased during The Brief Hanoi. Additionally, enhanced Bixby<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><strong><sup>[9]</sup></strong></span></a> experiences for natural voice interactions now also provide users with more intuitive controls for their appliances.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Samsung’s <strong>Home Appliances Remote Management (HRM)</strong> service<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><sup>[10]</sup></span></a>, users can provide consent to access real-time remote solutions for product issues. When problems are detected, users can be guided to identify and diagnose the cause, and are provided with step-by-step instructions on how to proceed. If an on-site visit is necessary, HRM can also allow technicians to review diagnostic data in advance, supporting a more efficient experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s expanding portfolio of intelligent appliances, AI-powered experiences and connected services are evolving alongside the needs of consumers and businesses across Southeast Asia and Oceania. By seamlessly integrating these elements, Samsung continues to deliver more meaningful, everyday AI experiences for all.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Singapore and New York-based Reality Defender have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development and deployment of an on-device deepfake detection solution for enterprises in Singapore. The proposed solution will help organisations identify AI-generated voice, video, and images on Samsung Galaxy devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As AI-generated threats become more sophisticated, business leaders are looking for ways to identify risks earlier while protecting sensitive information. Through our partnership with Reality Defender, we aim to develop practical on-device deepfake detection solutions that can flag potential threats before data needs to be processed in the cloud. This approach can help organisations reduce exposure to digital risks while supporting their security and privacy priorities,” said <strong>Timothy Tan, Director and Head of Integrated Business, Samsung.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.realitydefender.com/company" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reality Defender</a> is an enterprise deepfake detection company. Its ensemble of AI models detects AI-generated voice, video and images in real time, from audio impersonation on live calls to deepfakes in KYC and onboarding.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our mission is to protect high-trust systems from AI-generated threats by verifying what is real in real time. For many organisations, the first place a deepfake lands is an employee&#8217;s phone. Our partnership with Samsung aims to bring Reality Defender&#8217;s detection directly onto Samsung Galaxy devices, working alongside Knox so teams can spot AI-generated impersonation before they act on it. And our detection is stateless by design: nothing enrolled, nothing stored,” said <strong>Ben Colman, Co-Founder and CEO, Reality Defender.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The urgency to combat deepfakes</strong></h2>
<p>Deepfakes have rapidly evolved into a serious digital threat, and pose risks that could have far-reaching impact on the nation. AI-generated voice, video and images can be used  to impersonate trusted individuals, mislead users, and undermine confidence in digital interactions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A 2024 survey by Regula found that <a href="https://securitybrief.asia/story/deepfake-fraud-rises-56-of-singapore-firms-affected" target="_blank" rel="noopener">56% of businesses in Singapore have faced incidents of audio deepfake fraud, while 52% of companies have reported experiences with video deepfakes</a>. Separately,  scam victims in Singapore lost at least <a href="https://www.police.gov.sg/-/media/SPF/Advisories/Scams/Annual-Scam-and-Cybercrime-Brief-2025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S$242.9 million in Government Officials Impersonation Scams</a> in 2025, accounting for 26.6% of scam losses by amount.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung and Reality Defender will collaborate to develop and deploy an on-device deepfake detection solution for Galaxy devices<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>. By analysing content directly from the user’s secured Galaxy device, the proposed solution is intended to help organisations identify manipulated content while reducing the need to send sensitive data to the cloud for analysis.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9461" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Samsung-x-Reality-Defender-2-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Samsung-x-Reality-Defender-2-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Samsung-x-Reality-Defender-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Samsung-x-Reality-Defender-2.jpg 904w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s security architecture is designed to protect data from the chipset level through to individual apps. On supported Samsung Galaxy devices, <strong>Knox Vault</strong> provides an isolated environment for sensitive data, separate from the main operating system. <strong>Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)</strong> can also create encrypted storage environments for individual apps, helping ensure that each app can access only its own protected information.</p>
